The Past on the Present (Part II of II)
So, in some ways, I figure, I live in a fairy tale. In fairy tales, people rarely have money. Or if they do, it’s in the form of gold coins, which are more decorative than anything. And in some ways, I live in the past. In history, people rarely have unsolvable dilemmas – time doesn’t just stop when something goes wrong. Something always turns up, is what I’m thinking. The most alarming thing about the present is that it never has any resolution, but at least the present soon turns back on itself. That’s what I’ll keep telling myself, anyways.

Can Your Bed Partner's Snoring Make You Sick?
A new study claims to be the first to show that wives of snorers suffer symptoms of sleep disturbance and the consequences of sleep deprivation, two to three times as often as women with husbands who do not snore. The same finding should prove to apply to men living with women who snore. While snoring is more frequent in men than women (41% vs. 28%), together male and female snorers make up one-third of the population--an extremely common problem!
